Manufacturing Process

  1. Material Selection – Typically made from forged steel or alloy steel for strength and durability.
  2. Forging – The raw material is heated and forged into the basic shape.
  3. Machining – CNC machines refine the shape, ensuring precision in dimensions.
  4. Heat Treatment – The component is hardened for better strength and wear resistance.
  5. Ball Joint Assembly – The ball pin is inserted into the housing with a polymer or metal bearing.
  6. Surface Treatment – Coatings like zinc plating or powder coating are applied to prevent corrosion.
  7. Quality Testing – Each tie rod end is tested for strength, durability, and movement before being assembled into the steering system.
